Aamir made warring Mammootty and Lal strike peace” — the reality


Aamir Khan rushed to down South to make truce between warring Malayalam superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal, that is what a Mumbai tabloid and couple of copy-paste Bollywood gossip sites made out of a dinner meeting between the three. 

The tabloid, which removed the news from their website later, wrote that the meeting took place at Mohanlal's house. Contrary to the claims of the tabloid and other gossip sites, it was Aamir, in Kerala to announce signing Mohanlal for the promotions of 'Satyamev Jayate', who threw the dinner party at Taj Malabar in Kochi. The invitees included not just two superstars, but three and two media persons, including yours truly. Dileep was the third superstar Aamir had called to celebrate after roping in Mohanlal for the promotions of his programme. 

Waiting for Lal – who had a shoot on the day, Aamir shared his experience during the making of 'Satyamev Jayate' with rest of the invitees. Once Lal came in, the “warring south stars” together choose the day's specials for Aamir. Mohanlal left Taj at 11.30 pm and Mammootty after an hour, both times Aamir went to the reception to see them off. 

When Mohanlal and Mammootty shared stories about their life and struggling days in the industry, Aamir sat there listening eagerly. After dinner before the gang dispersed, Aamir suggested having a family photoshoot and modestly adding that it was his luck to be amongst the three stars of Malayalam cinema. All the four actors treasured this moment in their mobile phones and thus ended a dinner and a "war".

The tabloid even compared this dinner party with Aamir's attempts to resolve issues between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan.
